Jul 3, 2021 at 0:38 comment added wef @steeldriver - thanks for the useful link which led me to remove the pam_systemd.so line from /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Now I can log in without the cruft. Next, I need to find out how to prepare such a login for a GUI session - should I want one!! Running 'systemd --user' doesn't do it.
Jul 3, 2021 at 0:12 comment added wef @Panki - I beg to differ. Imagine (as in my previous employer) 1000's of linux VM instances, dozens of ops staff, possibly hundreds of automated ssh jobs - it adds up. I admit that for me on my home setup, it's just an untidiness; a lack of minimalism. As a Unix greybeard, I hate that and I'm suspicious of what these youngsters are doing with systemd!
